Course Description: 

The IPM in Multifamily Housing Course was designed to help housing professionals provide safe and effective pest control in their communities. The course covers:

  1. the biology, behavior and health risks of the major pests of housing (bed bugs, cockroaches and rodents);
  2. how to effectively manage pests within a housing community with the least risk of pesticide exposure for residents and staff;
  3. and how to troubleshoot pest control failures.

***We offer this course on-site, in-person. Reach out for more information: stoppests@cornell.edu
